President Donald Trump engaged in yet another bout of contentious back-and-forth with CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, who the president again dismissed as 'fake news' during a clash over immigration.
Trump called on Acosta, who had his credentials yanked by angry White House staffers following an earlier confrontation where the White House accused him of refusing to relinquish the microphone.
This time, Trump sounded off when Acosta asked a long question about immigration, following Trump's decision to go around Congress and declare an 'emergency' to secure $8 billion in funding.
'I wonder if you could comment on this disconnect that we seem to have in the country where you are presenting information about what's happening at the border, calling it an invasion, talking about women with duct tape over their mouths and so on, and yet there is a lot of reporting out there, a lot of crime data out there's a lot of Department of Homeland Security Data out there that shows border crossings at a near record low,' Acosta asked the president.

'What do you say to critics who say that you are creating a national emergency? That you’re concocting a national emergency here to get your wall,' CNN's Jim Acosta asked Trump
'That's because of us,' Trump interjected,' while Acosta kept talking.
Excuse me,' Trump continued, as the two talked over each other. 'It's still massive numbers of crossings.'
Acosta continued, pointing him to statistics that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower levels than native-born Americans.
